Vector description

pKillerRed-B is a prokaryotic expression vector encoding photosensitizer KillerRed (see reporter description). Reporter codon usage is optimized for high expression in mammalian cells (humanized) [Haas et al., 1996].

The vector is primarily intended as a source of KillerRed coding sequence. Flanking restriction sites are convenient for excision of KillerRed sequence and its further insertion into other expression vectors of choice. Alternatively, KillerRed coding sequence can be amplified by PCR.

The vector can be also used for KillerRed expression in prokaryotes under the control of T5 promoter/lac operator. The vector backbone contains ColE1 origin of replication and ampicillin resistance gene for propagation and selection in E. coli.
